This may seem like a silly question, but I'm not entirely familiar with some of the capabilities of Internet ready TV sets.

I know this isn't a smart TV and that it can't take advantage of apps that other models can, so what exactly is the benefit or functionality of having an Ethernet port? If anyone can shed some light on that for me I'd appreciate it.

firmware updates to offer you the very best instructions for the hardware contained within your new tv, the high tech device as it is, has the ability to be updated to delivery better optimizations and customizatons of the SOC in the display. Its a very good thing to be able to offer firmware updates so conveniently. Just ask people with older recievers from denon sony, panasonic etc. Its inconvenient. Ethernet is the best thing ever on a tv for future glitch-fixing.

Yea it's got a full array backlight(with less LEDs than is normal for full array but this is why it's not super skinny like edge-lit TV's.
Also the Panasonic is a IPS panel so consider that as well. I got the 55ES6100 for 699 from Tiger Direct yesterday in the 40 minutes or so it was live, praying it doesn't have any of the flaws that most of their edge lit TV's do.

i had it in my cart in those 40 minutes too. woke me up. I would be praying it doesn't get cancelled or it was phantom stock. I would also pray for AIT delivery in one piece.

good luck

It wasn't cancelled or phantom stock it's currently at my local terminal in New Orleans, guessing near the airport, Supposed to get a call to schedule a delivery appointment.
As far as praying for AIT delivery in one piece, I most certainly was/am as its a TV for my father and I really want him to have a nice TV since that's all he gets to do with the little time he has not working or caring for my mother who suffers from Parkinson's and Dementia from the Medications.
Anyway are there more horror stories than positive ones regarding AIT deliveries? Glad it's not a plasma with a glass screen.
Having no return policy I will inspect the hell out of it and they will sit by and wait for me, it's definately a risk but at the price certainly a great deal and as long as it gets delivered in good shape I feel its a justified bargain, will certainly have Squaretrade if not two separate policies on it

i hope that goes well for you too. I am doing the same thing for my dad right now. We picked up a panny ET5 for 850 with tax basically . 5% Mrbates helped out on tax. Its sitting at Sears and I do believe it was their last one too. I went and checked out the tv at both best buy and Sears, and its a very nice picture , however the vivid mode seemed to have more pop, and the gui seems dated same as my 2010 panny 1080p plasma in bedroom except it has apps and 3d too. Anyways, I can still shop for something better for about 10 days or so until S threatens to cancel for non-pick up Screen seemed very even and maybe not torch mode like samsung, but it held its own sitting right next to a 7100 sammy and the DT50 panny

BTW, Ive used AIT here. They arent "terrible" but they arent that great either. I had a 73" DLP delivered a 740 series Mits, and they brought it to the door, broke down box, and carried it in , set on stand. We plugged up the one hdmi cable. They wanted to see how big the picture was, and then left. They did not take the box, Which is fine, I broke it down the next week for trash pick up. All in all good, the worst aspect is their scheduling. Not too accurate at times. I remember a few misschedules and a broken down truck once i think. Perhaps they have improved on the subject of scheduling

TV Damage: not too much. Bezel was un popped from frame. Firm tap with back of palm snapped it back in. just lifted it up a little and tapped it. Seemed to not affect geometry from what I was seeing.

I recently bought the un55eh6000...is the 3D option worth the hassle to order the TD tv and return the old TV to wal'mart?

EDIT:
Just looked up TD's return policy and it's 14 days from date of purchase...the expected delivery date if ordered on 4/8/13 is 4/23/13...which is 13 days after date of purchase. If something is wrong or don't like the TV, I don't want a day to decide.

Isn't that 15 days? I would imagine that the return policy wouldn't kick in until the item actually ships (which is when your card is charged). However, that is just a guess, why not call them to find out?

I was under the impression there was NO return policy for TD TV's ? They certainly make it seem to be the case

I ordered mine on 4-8-2013 (at 8pm), It shipped 4-9-2013 and it showed up today on 4-12-2013. AIT was not slow at all on this one. Box seemed to be in good shape. TV works, can't say anything other than that as I haven't had time to tweak the picture.

Their return policy for these TV's is you can't return them. It has to be defective and swapped out for the same model but no returns

Only negative comment at the minute is the base is a bit wobbly.

Awesome that's great turnaround. I ordered last Sunday it shipped Monday or Tuesday and was in New Orleans Wedsnday but didn't get a call till Thursday which I missed so delivery will be tomorrow instead of last Friday but I'm good with that, gave me more time to shop around before I accept delivery of a TV that I may not be able to return if they truly go by their TV policy. Either way its a steal
